Is the Rockfire USB adapter better than the radio shack one? Thanks, ChrisG27
There was some discussion of this in the eRacer Garage (http://schooner.gotdns.com/eracer) Forums. I found personally the Radio Shack one to be useless but haven't tried the Rockfire to compare. "Chris Gennarelli" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:QN85a.468926$[email hidden]...

Ditto -- See ya in the pits, Dean I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

Chris, it depends which pots you have in your wheel. The Rockfire is excellent but works best with 250k pots. Pete "Chris Gennarelli" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:QN85a.468926$[email hidden]...

They actually make a ne wiring block that lets it work really good with the high grade pots ... Rockfire works well for me ... "Pete" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cmg5a.7754$[email hidden]...

Thanks Guys. I have the Radio Shack one now working with my TSW pedals. I got 100k pots and get a fair amount of steppyness. I ordered the Rockfire from http://www.cyberguys.com for $15.99. I will probably get the 250k pots from TSW. But I will test it out first. I'll post my results.

I believe TSW made another adapter for those with Spec pots.
